Pros

Great product and huge sales potential.

Cons

The strain of working closing and opening the next day was too frequent. No set days off also made personal life very imbalanced. The reality of crushing the staff for district manager inspections/visits is counter productive and standard were too high.

Pros

Great way to gain leadership and management experience. I liked the company overall. Associate discounts at TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Homegoods stores.

Cons

I really enjoyed my time with the company during the first five years. After acceting the coordinator position movement up the ladder was stagnant due to not playing into the local store management politics. Its sad that people who work the hardest and are dependable don't get the opportunity to grow further with the company because they don't run back to management and tell on others or gossip with them. Also some people who are promoted to various positions are not qualified they just brown nose with management. Also pay was low for what the position demanded and hours were not real full-time hours. Full-time with this company is only 32 hours a week. Then to top it off they refuse to allow full-timers to have more flexibility to work another part-time job as 32 hours is not enough to make a decent living. TJ Maxx had to be your only priority.

Pros

It is a job opportunity to gain the experience of the retail industry. This job does offer discount incentives to employees, they give back to its local community (Heart Association, Autism Speaks, Feed the Hungry, Cancer Society and etc.). Benefit package is excellent. This company is #101 on the Fortune 500 list so it is very profitable.

Cons

The turn overrate is very high due to favoritism, micromanaging, and minimum promotion within. If you are looking to get promoted within a reasonable time this would NOT be a great opportunity. It is all about WHO you know and NOT what you know even though you are well-experienced and have trained managers who are managing you. There are currently store managers and assistant managers who just was promoted after 10 to15+ years of experience with this company. This shows that the promotion rate is not great and hopefully the CEO of this company look into better opportunity for their dedicated associates who has put in blood, sweat, and tears into this company.
